| Reverse description | Central field features a coiled dragon in high relief, rendered in the late Qing imperial style with scaled body, horned head, and flowing whiskers. Four Chinese characters in regular script are arranged around the dragon, reading top to bottom and right to left: '大清銅幣' (Great Qing Copper Currency). The design is framed by a plain inner border and an outer milled rim, consistent with official Qing pattern coinage of the Xuantong period. |
